Currently DMD accepts code like:
int main(in string[] args) { return 0; }
void main(in string[] args) {}
int main() { return 0; }
void main() {}
What I have asked is if it's worth changing D/DMD so it only accepts such two
four forms.

The topic of this thread is surely a minor thing, I agree there are far more
important things to work on. But on the base of my experience I don't agree
with you. Little things are little, but they pile up. Little wrong things don't
make a language unusable, but many little things done right reduce programming
stress and improve how much you like your language (sometimes they avoid some
bugs in your code).
At its base Python is not a big deal, its implementation sucks, it contains no
new ideas, and even its basic syntax is like C. But hundreds of well thought
out and carefully designed "user-interface" details in the core language and
its standard library make its usage pleasurable.
